The Sims 4 Car Animation Info from Grant

thesims4blogger:

Simified: Will Sims be able to have and own cars? Will cars in The Sims 4 have functions similar to The Sims 2 (opening doors, etc.) or will they be like The Sims 3?

Grant: Sims will definitely be able to own and have cars! As far as how they will function, I cannot comment on that yet. I do know that opening doors, like in The Sims 2, would require a lot from our animations team, so this may or may not happen.

It sounds like cars will be animated in the same way as in The Sims 3. This is very disappointing to hear, as I personally can’t stand Sims teleporting into their cars. Little details like opening car doors are essential if TS4 is to feel alive and complete. I just don’t buy that it would “require a lot” animation-wise. Have you guys seen the incredible amount of models, textures and animations in recent games? I think they could manage. I am alright with EA toning down and simplifying the graphics if it allows for more complex game systems…I hope they come through on this!

What do you guys think?
